Thoughts on the new Evernote
The new "Home" page in Evernote acts like a dashboard. I'm taking another look at Evernote, which has recently added three big features: Task supportGoogle Calendar integrationHome page/dashboard The left sidebar has been tuned up, so it isn't such a confused mess. As far as I can tell, these features have not been adapted to … Continue reading Thoughts on the new Evernote
My informal listing of note-takers and information managers
I've started a list of note-taking and information management apps using Dynalist. This list is mostly of apps available online via browser, though some are available as well on MacOS and iOS devices. This listing is in no way intended to be comprehensive. Mostly, they are apps I find interesting enough to want to check … Continue reading My informal listing of note-takers and information managers
Amplenote and Organizedly–two similar all-purpose browser organizers
Over the past few weeks I've learned about and have been trying out two browser-based organizers, Amplenote and Organizedly. I was going to write reviews of each individually, but they are so similar in their functionality that I though it might be more interesting to introduce them and then discuss their differences. Because an article … Continue reading Amplenote and Organizedly–two similar all-purpose browser organizers

Notejoy: My Evernote Replacement

My biggest gripe with Evernote is that it has an unintuitive user interface, and isn't consistent across platforms (although that is getting better). For me, Evernote has been a junk drawer, but not a place for writing notes… in fact, I can't … Continue reading Notejoy: My Evernote Replacement
Linking in Craft
This is an addendum to my initial look at the wordprocessor/note-taker Craft. When I wrote my that review, I missed one of Craft’s strongest features, its ability to link, not just to subpages, but also to any of your Craft documents. Let’s take a look. To add a link to another document, you just have … Continue reading Linking in Craft
Does Craft bring new magic to writing?
I've been reading some nice things about a new writing application called Craft. Of course I had to get my hands on it to see what was what. Craft is for Mac and iOS. It cost $45 a year for a subscription. Rather than post my article here, I decided to use one of Craft's … Continue reading Does Craft bring new magic to writing?
TheBrain 12. Game changer?
I used to use TheBrain as my primary data organizer. It worked well on my Windows computer (which is my office machine) because I could drag emails right into the Plex from Outlook to remind myself to deal with them, or so I'd be able to reference the information in the messages in the context … Continue reading TheBrain 12. Game changer?
The reMarkable 2: First Impressions
Nice packaging. The tablet in the righthand box, the protective folio sleeve in the lefthand box, and the marker plus writing stylus in the middle. The reMarkable 2 arrived five days after it left Hong Kong. That's pretty good time, especially since the box had to be handed off from DHL to the Post Office. … Continue reading The reMarkable 2: First Impressions
